Brett Lachapelle was reported missing from Manchester, New Hampshire, in Hillsborough County. NamUs lists him under Missing Person case MP115386 and gives his date of last contact as August 2, 2022. The case is associated with Manchester, New Hampshire, and his disappearance remains publicly listed in missing-person databases. The Manchester Police Department also includes Brett among the individuals reported missing to the department.
Brett was 63 years old when he went missing.
He is described as a White male, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing approximately 130 to 150 pounds, with blue eyes and gray or partially gray hair. Manchester Police list his hair as gray and possibly shaven, while The Charley Project notes that his hair was in a buzz cut when last seen. These details matter because, over time, appearance can change, and small identifying characteristics may become especially important for recognition.
The available public information indicates that Brett had been in the area of Elliot Hospital in Manchester before he disappeared. NamUs gives August 2, 2022, as his date of last contact, while The Charley Project states that he was last seen leaving Elliot Hospital in Manchester and has not been heard from again. Because public sources differ on the precise last-seen timeline, the most careful summary is that Brett’s last known contact was in early August 2022, with the publicly listed NamUs date being August 2, 2022.
Brett has several identifying marks that could help distinguish him. Public case summaries describe a scar on his abdomen and multiple tattoos, including a spiderweb tattoo on his elbow, a Triumph Motorcycles-style logo or symbol on his arm, and a serial-number tattoo on his leg. He reportedly did not have a beard when last seen, though he had worn one previously. These details may be useful to anyone who believes they saw him around the time he disappeared or who may have encountered him afterward.
The New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management missing-person listing describes Brett as known to be transient, and The Charley Project also states that he was transient at the time of his disappearance. That context may make the investigation more difficult, as people without a fixed residence can have fewer routine points of contact, fewer records of movement, and longer gaps before others realize something is wrong. It also means Brett may have interacted with hospitals, shelters, service providers, businesses, or members of the public who may not have known he was missing.
The Manchester Police Department asks anyone with information about missing persons listed by the department to report it to local police, email the department, or call Manchester Police at 603-668-8711. Brett’s case is one where even a small recollection could matter: a sighting near Elliot Hospital, information about where he may have gone afterward, or contact with someone matching his description could help clarify what happened after his last known contact.Last Seen: Aug 2, 2022
